A system-of-systems based equipment for thermo-mechanical testing of advanced high power modules

The integration in small packages of high power modules requires in the phase of prototype testing integrated measurements and advanced software tools to assure high level reliability of the devices. In this paper a new integrated equipment based on the concept of system-of-systems is proposed. The system-of-systems equipment is intended as a platform including several measurement instrumentations, the power supply, the control boards and the testing modules, that themselves are complex systems.
